A member asked:
Is a stimulation test a start for a diagnosis of cfs/me ? why would this be done? thank you in advance x
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CFS is a diagnosis: Made if all other tests for illnesses causing weakness or fatigue are negative. Your dr is ordering these stimulation tests to check for diseases related to possible dysfunction in the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid or adrenal glands.http://www.webmd.com/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/ http://nyp.Org/komansky/patient_care/medical_services/endocrinology/information_for_patients_and_families.Html.
